Fishing lure holder

Abstract

A packet for holding a fishing lure which lure is mounted on the line of a fishing rod, the packet comprising a sheet of flexible material having a thickness adapted to withstand unforced fishhook penetration. A clip adapted to engage and be frictionally secured on a fishing rod is permanently mounted along one edge of the sheet and the clip and the sheet both have interengageable and interconnectible means mounted thereon whereby the sheet may be wrapped around a lure disposed beside the clip and connected to the clip to secure the lure to the rod when the rod is not in use.

Having now therefore fully illustrated and described my invention, what I claim to be new and desire to protect by United States Letters Patent is: 
     
       1. Storage packet for fishing lures mounted on a fishing rod which comprises, (a) a sheet of relatively thick flexible material adapted to resist penetration of a fishhook upon unforced contact,   (b) an elongated channel shaped clip having the exterior of one side wall affixed to one edge of the sheet with the channel opening outwardly away from the sheet, whereby the sheet may be first wrapped sidewise around a lure positioned against the exterior of the bottom wall of the clip and then engaged against the outside of the other side wall of the clip,   (c) the said other side wall of the clip and the side of the sheet engaging the lure both having strips of material mounted thereon adapted to adhere to each other to secure the sheet around the lure and against the clip, and   (d) the said strip on the sheet extending substantially along the entire width of the sheet perpendicular to the channel to permit adherence of said strips at different places to secure lures of different sizes.   
     
     
       2. The subject matter of claim 1 wherein the side walls of the clip are provided with longitudinally extending ribs adapted to engage against and grip the opposite sides of a fishing rod leaving spaces between the rod and clip walls when the clip is mounted on a rod.
